3 Ton Telehandler

Product Overview

This compact yet powerful 3 ton telehandler is engineered for medium-height lifting tasks that regular wheel loaders and standard forklifts cannot finish efficiently. Different from short-boom loaders limited to low stacking, its two-stage telescopic boom hits a maximum lifting height of 13.7 meters and forward outreach of 8.8 meters, making it the ideal mid-size lifting machine for small contractors, family farms and regional logistics yards.
Built on a 10,800kg stable chassis with wide off-road tires, this telescopic handler adopts Danfoss hydrostatic drive and three switchable steering modes: two-wheel, four-wheel and crab walking. It navigates narrow village roads, uneven farmland and tight construction enclosures without extra ground damage. Equipped with a Yuchai YCD4J22T 85kw water-cooled diesel engine, the unit balances powerful output and daily fuel consumption, cutting long-term operation costs for small business owners across global markets.
Operators gain full visibility from a spacious enclosed cab with all-round glass windows, while the 21MPa industrial hydraulic system ensures smooth boom extension, retraction and attachment switching. The whole machine supports customized forks, grain grabs, lifting hooks and aerial work platforms, switching between agricultural bulk handling and building material hoisting within minutes. For buyers searching for a multi-functional lifting machine that balances purchase cost and high lifting performance, this 3 ton telehandler fills the gap between mini compact handlers and heavy 5-ton large models.

1. Ultra-Long Telescopic Boom for High-Range Work

Most compact telehandlers under 12 tons only offer 7-10m lifting height, while this model extends to 13.7m, meeting the demands of multi-story warehouse stacking, precast component hoisting and high-rise residential construction auxiliary work. The thickened boom steel plate resists bending under full load, and built-in buffer cylinders avoid rigid impact during retraction.

2. Three Steering Modes for Complex Narrow Sites

Crab walking mode allows lateral movement along narrow walls, perfect for backyard renovation, narrow farm alley access and confined urban construction zones. Four-wheel steering cuts the turning circle to 4.3m, so operators do not need repeated reversing in tight spaces to adjust stacking positions.

3. Fuel-Efficient Yuchai Power with Global Service Network

The Yuchai 4-cylinder diesel engine meets Euro 5 and EPA Tier 4 emission standards, suitable for European, North American and Southeast Asian markets. Local repair shops in most developing countries stock matching engine spare parts, eliminating long waiting times for component delivery after breakdowns.

4. Quick-Hitch Multi-Attachment Compatibility

The standard hydraulic quick coupler lets operators swap attachments without hand disassembly. One machine completes grain stacking, steel pipe lifting, waste material clearing and aerial maintenance, reducing the need to purchase separate forklifts, small cranes and loaders for small businesses.

1. Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia)
Small rural construction teams and medium fruit plantations widely adopt this 3 ton telehandler. The 13.7m boom easily stacks fruit packaging pallets in tall open-air warehouses, while crab steering navigates narrow rural dirt roads between farm plots. Local dealers prefer this model over heavier 5-ton units for its lower transportation cost on small trucks.
2. Africa (Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania)
Cooperative farms and village infrastructure contractors rely on its simple mechanical structure and easy-to-source spare parts. The wide off-road tires pass muddy seasonal farmland without sinking, and single-unit MOQ supports small cooperative bulk purchases for shared agricultural machinery.
3. Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia)
Landscaping firms and villa construction teams use this telescopic handler for high wall stone installation and large garden bulk soil transportation. The sealed cab blocks high-temperature dust, and customized air conditioning can be added for year-round hot climate operation.
4. Latin America (Colombia, Peru)
Small logistics depots and family farm operators choose this machine as a cost upgrade from manual pallet trucks. Its medium weight fits standard 40HQ container sea freight, avoiding extra oversize transport fees common for larger 5-ton telehandlers.
